By and large, my structural engineer counterparts use global and convert X = South and Z = West into their local coordinates and normally I do not provide loads in local coordinates.

If I do, it's because the piping in question is angled arbitrarily off axis (e.g. 22 degrees from North to follow a road).

The problem with local restraints in CAESAR is that to get the sign convention correct, you must know each individual element orientation. One might surmise element directionality in the direction of increasing node numbers, but I've seen models where analysts went capriciously backwards, and the only way to know would be to compare against the global summary or have CAESAR.

As such, if I were a structural engineer and I received a local restraint summary, I'd consider it only useful for checking my math.
